I cannot find the US Keyboard layout for Colemak in "Text Service and Input Languages" setting dialog. Is there any other way to change the keyboard layout by using software?

I have tried using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 but it seems that I cannot remap CAPS-lock key (BACKSPACE in Colemak).

Thank you,

I Googled "colemak keyboard windows", and the first item returned was "Windows - Colemak - Colemak keyboard layout", but as A Dwarf noted it was down, so I clicked on the cached copy, and then the download button, and that works. You should be able to install it that way.

Currently the website is down, due to some technical problem. But you can find a download for windows 7 (Vista) here: http://colemak.com/

If you don't want to wait, you can map your keys with the free SharpKeys (it will be able to map your capslock and dead keys): http://www.randyrants.com/2008/12/sharpkeys_30.html
